[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would let the nanny go and stay home and enjoy your kids for a few months. [b]You can do so many fun things with them.[/b] I’m sure you got severance and will be able to collect unemployment. I would rather dip into savings for time with my kids vs paying the nanny.[/quote] Do you live in the real world? OP lost her job, and she needs a job. Doing fun things with her kids isn't her top priority right now. OP, I don't know enough about your industry (I couldn't do consulting in mine, for example), but I would think about what you need to do to get another job, whether that's with a company or on your own, and then figure out how you can accomplish that. If you need to be going to interviews or job fairs or conferences, then you'll need to keep your childcare. If it's something you can work on 2-3 hours a day, then maybe scale back on the childcare expenses while making sure you have time cut out for the job search/development. [/quote]
